Flight passenger takes on ground staff in 'Rock, paper, scissors' battle; netizens react

A delightful video of a passenger inside a flight playing 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' with the ground staff is going viral on the internet, stealing the hearts of social media users. The passenger, while sitting waiting for the flight to take off, was seen playing the classic hand game through the plane window with a member of the airline crew. The passenger could be seen signalling scissors, after the airline crew member also made a symbol and then expressed disappointment.

The video was shared on Instagram by USA's Transportation Security Administration (TSA) on May 24. Captioning the image, the official Instagram handle of the organisation explained some of the dos and don'ts with regards to items like rock, paper and scissors in luggage on a flight and wrote, "You’re in luck here. You can’t lose with this info!" 

"It's all fun and games until you pack your scissors over 4 inches. That's right, if your scissors are too big, they won't make the cut. Generally, rocks are good to go in a carry-on depending on size or weight, but your paper always wins there," the TSA wrote.

Interestingly elaborating, the post further added, "We want you to take trips, not chances! You can definitely do better than 2 out of 3 when packing for your next travel adventure.
